With enthusiasm I write on behalf of Enrique Mentado-Sosa’s candidacy for an RA position for 2017-2018. Insightful, rigorous, deep, self-motivated, resourceful, team focused, and sensitive to the needs of others are images which come to mind when I think of Enrique. I also think of the phrase, still waters run deep. Never the first to speak nor seeking a spotlight, some might overlook and underestimate Enrique; that would be a mistake! I have known him going on two years as a student in my honors seminar, Personal Leadership Development: Lessons from South Africa and as a loyal and engaged member of the Honors Student Association which I advise. I see Enrique well suited for this position due to the experience he obtained volunteering with many diverse individuals in the past, as well as through his current position as a chemistry tutor through the LARC. From volunteering and working with individuals of different backgrounds, his “people skills” and his ability to work in a group have vastly improved, enabling him to make a strong contribution to the “team” of RAs to which he is assigned.
A sophomore Cell and Molecular Biology major, Enrique holds a 3.75 (summa cum laude) grade point average entitling him being named to the Dean’s Lists of both the College of Arts & Sciences (minimum 3.6) and the Honors College (minimum 3.75). As further testament to his scholastic potential, Enrique received a Board of Governor’s Scholarship, and an Office of Multicultural Affairs
Kendall’s experience as a researcher is not the only thing which makes her the amazing person she is today. She has experienced so many different work environments that it is mind-boggling. Dr. Kendall was a waitress while attending high school, was chair of a Senate Executive Committee, and taught math to prisoners. Through participating in so many different kinds of work opportunities, Dr. Kendall was able to realize that her true passion lay in the field of biochemistry. The first pull towards science was evident in the books that interested her as a child. And one might even say that her parents were what helped to ignite that spark for her thirst for knowledge in the field of biochemistry. Those science coloring books from Filene’s Basement department store and the Time Life science book series that her mother bought her are a very important part of Dr. Kendall’s early inspiration, and it is clear to anyone who listens to her talk that she loves doing research and helping young people figure out what they should do with their
To give the students like me a better idea on how to get a job or how the real world works, the department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering gave us a class inviting the people graduated from this major or people specialized on the certain field that may benefit us in the future.
The hardships one would encounter in their lives have become a part of our society, because they act as stepping stones to build ourselves with trials to reach any higher ground. It’s ready is the best, and worst possible actions we have done to ourselves.
Along with being a diligent student who has been enrolled in 11 Advanced Placement classes, I have also dedicated my time to other causes. For example, I have volunteered at public libraries, Special Olympics events, orphanages for intellectually disabled children, and food pantries. While maintaining a rigorous course load and volunteering, I also work at Kumon. I tutor children to boost their confidences and understanding of concepts vital to their future success. Moreover, I have received membership to The National Honor Society and have been awarded an AP Scholar with Merit Award. My dedication to becoming more culturally aware and five years of enrollment in Spanish classes has allowed me to be inducted into Spanish Honor Society. Within

As many of you know, this October the Hispanic Scholarship Fund will be announcing this year’s inductee to their noteworthy Alumni Hall of Fame. Founded over 70 years ago, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund has done exceedingly well to provide the bright, young Latino scholars of our nation with an opportunity to seek higher education through scholarships and various programs. At the Alumni Hall of Fame Gala we will celebrate three scholarship recipients as well as a single inductee. While each individual being recognized at the Gala has proven to be extraordinary, there is one in particular you should look out for.

The two defining moments in my scholarly life that define what my character consists of are the months as a coach for the U-9 R.I.S.C. Takers Soccer team as well as my trip to the village of Cuajiniquil, Costa Rica with the National Geographic summer community service program. Both of these instances have taught me valuable life lessons, including my responsibility as a role model for young children, the importance of giving back to our community, and the acceptance of other cultures, practices, and behaviors. This is what make me who I am and a very qualified candidate for the title of National Honor Society Member.
Did you know that people in other countries have jobs that can not even sustain life? This is a very detrimental problem for the country and the family within that country. Sadly, the people within the country come to a point of recognition that they are going to have to change their circumstances in life. So they have to make a difficult decision leave their family to be able to give their children a better life by sending money back to the home country or take their oldest child out of school to start selling things on the streets. If the parent decides to leave the home country, then she will start a process of immigration to another prosperous country like the United States America without looking back to change her
Furthermore, I continued to follow their advice to the best of my ability, in order to minimize my levels of hardship I would encounter during my scholarship application process. Likewise, obtaining the National Honor Society would relieve some of my tuition fees that would prevent me from obtaining my bachelor’s degree, thus increasing the chances of attending medical school to fulfill my goal of becoming a licensed and compassionate physician. In addition, the scholarship would allow me to focus on enjoying an exceptional college experience instead of stressing over my financial constraints that would prevent me from achieving my academic goals. Moreover, the scholarship could alleviate the financial burden of taking classes I desire, my Biochemistry major may not include in such as cellular neuroscience and neuroanatomy. As a result, the scholarship would satisfy my curiosity of learning new things and would help significantly in obtaining a more well-rounded college

Luis has been one of the best students in my 16 year career and possibly in the whole history of Irving High School. He is truly one of the finest examples of a well-rounded student that any teacher can ever encounter. As his AP Statistics and AP Calculus BC teacher, I been able to see multiple examples of Luis’s talents and abilities. Even up to this day, Luis does not stop surprising me with his diligence and persistence. Although I’m only his math teacher, I know that Luis has been a highly successful student throughout his high school career in a wide arrange of subjects. From either math, to science, to art, to English, Luis has always risen to the top of the class and performed his best in every activity and test given to him. Luis is one of those few
In the case Enrique Camarena Case the evidence that was collected was the bodies of Enrique Camarena a special agent who worked for the United States DEA and the body of another man by the name of Capt.

The residence that was to believe to have been where the Enrique Alfredo

She will further flourish, add value and reflect well upon the business professionals and programs of the United Negro College Fund and Carnival Corporation.
Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz was a woman far beyond her years. Living in a time when society was dominated by men, she disregarded the fact that women during this time were forced to be uncurious objects, whose highest achievement in life was to give birth. Her relentless pursuit to attain knowledge and defy her culture's standards for women is illustrated throughout her writings. In the readings, ("Response to the Most Illustrious Poetess Sor Filotes de la Cruz, the three "Romances" and the "Redondillas"), she spills out her beliefs, feelings and pain in forms of symbolic devices and irony in attempt to erase the differences between men and women as intellectual beings, as well as to argue for a woman's right to pursue
